Photovoltaic solar power plants can provide a vital home for native insects

Solar farms can provide key habitats for insects and other pollinators to rehabilitate the local environment, according to new research. US researchers have found that when fields housing solar photovoltaics (PVs) are planted with native plants, they can attract large numbers of insects which improve the biodiversity of the area. A monarch caterpillar on a … Continue reading Photovoltaic solar power plants can provide a vital home for native insects
